I did a lot of recording on HDR-HC1 and downloaded them onto PC as mpeg but I'm running out of hard drive space very quickly. So, I was wondering if it it's possible to record them back on to tape for storage? I tried to do it but couldn't figure out how.

Also, is the timecode data conserved when the tape is downloaded to the PC and if it is, how do I view it? And now, if I re-upload the video footage on to tape, would I be able to see the original time code or is it lost forever?
